Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a cop? Well,
it's time to find out.
Follow Stan Otremba from his beginnings as a relief bailiff at
the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department in 1959. There, he
hears the case of Johnny Stompanato, who turned up dead in his home
one night. Stompanato's stepdaughter, Cheryl Crane, testifies that
she killed him because he was beating her mother. But bailiff
Otremba is suspicious, and years later, he finds out what really
happened.
When he becomes a full-fledged police officer with the Santa
Maria Police Department, Otremba investigates murders, rapes,
suicides, and more. As a deputy coroner, he sees still yet another
side of the law, but it's not a pretty one.
Along the way, Otremba adapts to the changes in law enforcement,
enjoying the new technology that becomes available from the Law
Enforcement Assistance Program and fine-tuning his crime-fighting
tactics.
Follow an insider through twenty-eight years of action in "So,
You Want to "Be a Cop "" ?
